That's you on vocals AND geetar BBroO?
Man, you'll have to sing on something for me asap. Truly impressed here.

Right...personally I thought it should have remained acoustic throughout. I've said it before but I do get an 'Alice In Chains' vibe from your acoustic geetar and that's cool with me. Not dissin the drummers tight playing but I'd love to have a go at the power chorus thing without relying on the 'classic rawk power ballad tempo'...that renders the tune a little too formulaic imho. A little alternate timing would add shine this baby. Love the bass sound/solo at the end. Well done.

Now...let's get on this shall we. We/I now record on a Boss digital four track that easily transfers from the memory card to computer. Can I send you an instrumental for you to add vocals Bro?

This a mere 2mb mp3 demo of our latest work in progress entitled 'Release'. Recorded live on the Boss micro digital four track, unmixed and as raw as a raw thing. The vocals are too quiet but the energy is there I'm thinking. We intend to nail the backing geetar and drums and add vocals bass and mixing after...interesting.
Nowhere near the standard of my BBroO's meanderings and Hairy's band would kill us at a glance I just love the energy and dare I say a little fourty-something angst maybe present? Although Dan says there are far too many cymbals
Thanks for your time.

Aw, geez, guys. I didn't expect anyone to actually like it very much, but I surely appreciate your positive comments.

Oggman, I'd consider it an honor and an honour to collaborate with you on any tune. The method you suggest is ideal. I'll record it onto two tracks and submit it back to you with vocals where there was none That sounds like a lot of fun, as a matter of fact. Let me know when the tracks are ready.

Hey, Release is very cool. The 40-something angst truly comes through, and the guitar and drums interlock perfectly. Who is that singing? Yer right, the vocals are a bit buried, but hey, that's a job for a later mixdown. Killer!

Thats my best chum, fellow postie guitar/vocals/song writer Dan. We have various bassists that pop in from time to time for serious recording. .It's usually just Dan and myself, two or three times a week...smoking bud and jamming/writing for four hours. Sometimes we'll dig out the acoustic and bongos but mostly it's about living out one's rockstar fantasies on a regular basis, wait til you see my somewhat improved kit!. We've been at this for eight years now and quite often come up with some cool stuff...keeps us occupied as well as sane and that's the main thing
